The Columbia County Historical Society welcomes school groups for a day of history in Kinderhook!

We invite educators to request a guided visit led by our experienced curator and volunteers, who will engage students through interactive demonstrations and storytelling. Students will discover how Columbia County’s early Dutch settlers lived at our 1737 Luykas Van Alen House, and step inside an authentic, c. 1850 one-room schoolhouse to see how rural children attended school in the 19th century.

To begin planning a field trip to our historic sites, please email director@cchsny.org.
